Man Utd transfer and takeover news LIVE: All the latest from Old Trafford

Loan stars back

Erik ten Hag is set to welcome eight players back to the Manchester United first team including those returning from loan spells.

United return to pre-season training next week and there will be a few familiar faces back at Carrington.

Some, such as Eric Bailly and Alex Telles, may not be around for long after they were loaned out to Marseille and Sevilla respectively last season.

There are also several young players who could depart on loan once again – Shola Shoretire and Charlie McNeill both joined EFL clubs on a temporary basis last season.

But Amad Diallo, who had a successful loan at Sunderland last season, will be welcomed back into the first-team set-up, according to Manchester Evening News.

Meanwhile Hannibal Mejbri and Alvaro Fernandez will return to the squad following stints at Birmingham and Preston.
